Now who will I draw on live TV with now?
Actually, it always freaked me out that posting to TVii cross posted to my Twitter, but that's just because I don't remember telling Nintendo what my twitter was.
Maybe I did and forgot.

>>196984
Yes, but it was cancelled earlier this year.

>>196994
Goddamnit why does everyone continue to color Sonic's arms wrong?

I thought Smash Magicant was based on Mother 1 which explicitly isn't Ness's mindscape.

Yes, you are correct, though it does mix elements from both Magicants.

Hardy har har, but seriously. It's such a common mistake and I don't understand why, especially since AZ is such a good artist. It's kind of like drawing Mario with red overalls. It's weird.

So none of my club nintendo download codes work...

>>197058
Yes, I believe they expire at the end of July.

>>197059
I do not understand why any company would make digital codes for digital codes expire. That is beyond asinine.

>>197065

Probably because they don't want to have to maintain those download servers in perpetuity.

>All download codes redeemed from Club Nintendo will expire on July 31, 2015, so please be sure to download your game from the Nintendo eShop before that date.
Well fuck me sideways. I actually wanted to play Paper Mario, even though I mainly got it just to use my coins up...

>>197070

...you had like several months from the date where they stopped handing out codes for coins to actually put it in your device. What were you doing?

>>197071
If that poster is anything like me, more important shit and then just kind of forgetting about it until you spot the email while cleaning out your inbox.
Wish they would have sent out a reminder email like a week before the expiration date or even put the expiration date in the email.

>>197071
Being lazy. Also, one code I have is for a Wii U, but I don't (yet) own a Wii U.

I'm sure they mentioned the limitations in small print during check out and I didn't notice it, but it's not in the e-mail that contains the code.

>>197072
I think they sent out a "Club Nintendo is closing soon" e-mail, and they probably mentioned it in that. Not expecting it, and already knowing that Club Nintendo was closing, I just deleted the e-mail outright.

>>197158
He talked about fans who want western releases as if they were idiot children. Why wouldn't Nintendo fire him, even if they are bad about actually releasing games here?

>>197159
>He talked about fans who want western releases as if they were idiot children.
Thats tumblr-level generalization there. Might as well complain about AVGN portraying nintendo fans as alcoholic scatophiles.

>>197161

Difference here is that AVGN isn't a considered to be representing nintendo, which Chris was with his employment and answering questions on a podcast regarding nintendo policy.

It's not hard to be professional and courteous, so I don't have a terrible amount of sympathy for people who fail at it even if they do have a wife and kids.

Whether Chris was right or not in tone, his answers were not of the typical Nintendo PR lingo. He said things Nintendo normally doesn't comment on and did so as if he were a major representative of the company. It's a shame he lost his dream job over a single mistake, but it's not hard to see why Nintendo let him go.

>>197162
>Difference here is that AVGN isn't a considered to be representing nintendo,
See but thats a rational point.
Not "calling fans idiot children."

Mario Maker is now every shitty ROM hack/flash crossover game from the 90s.

>>197178
It's surprising that they support basically every amiibo, Pokemon Company doesn't usually let them use their characters that freely.
It is unsurprising that the Pokemon costumes lack custom sound effects and music.

Good, that makes up for the wait.

Also, if anyone has been trying to pre-order, Gamestop finally listed the item on their website last week and I was able to switch my pre-order over then.

I'll probably at least check the game out now.

>>197502
After that E3 reaction? I wouldn't be surprise if they put it back to 2017.

I dunno what they are gonna do with Federation Force.

>>197516
They're probably delaying it because they started making it about a year or so ago, not because of E3 reactions.

I forgot that the Skylander Amiibo hybrids would be only sold with the starter packs that come with the games.
I mean it makes sense since they don't want to trick anyone into buying them when they don't have the versions they work on, but what if I just want the amiibo?
I can't imagine skylanders being very fun if you only have one skylander.

>>197544

It's not. Skylanders, the little I've played, seems like a really fun party game/game with friends, but there's areas of the game that can't be accessed without a Skylander that uses a certain element. You can beat the story just fine, I'm sure, but a lot of extra rooms and additional places to go are inaccessible if you only have one guy.

>>198660
Yeah the dev team seems to really like Fire Emblem which is whatever but BAYONETTA
HOLY SHIT

Oh boy another fucking fire emblem character

Bayonetta does look like a lot of fun though. Other than the Mario Maker stage, she and Cloud will probably be the only DLC I get for the game.

Yeah, between that and the lack of English voice acting on Cloud (even though he's had one since the first KH) makes me think aspects of Cloud's design were kinda rushed.

I voted for her, never expecting her to make it in but sweet sweet lord looking at her in motion, she's perfect. That quality attention to detail, the style... the combos. Absolute perfection.
And then watching the stream cry bitch tears it wasn't Wolf or K.Rool was the icing on the cake, then came the "She's broken!" whiners as if almost every character in the game doesn't have a counter to prevent Bayonetta from going off.

I'm actually going to have to buy some Nintendo DLC. Hot damn.

Well, I voted for WONDER RED, so this is second best thing I guess.

>>198676
The lack of One Wing Angel is criminal.

>>198679
Two songs ain't fine. There's no reason not to have more than that, fuck at least port some more songs over. Not all of them have to be remixes.

I'm a little disappointed there's only one poll winner and not like two or three. Also I'm surprised how quickly it took for them to make Bayonetta. Isn't it like a month before it closed or something?

>>198696
Maybe Cloud was up there, too.
They did say he was the most requested Final Fantasy.

>>198696

Bayonetta was the global #1 pick for "feasible characters"; it's possible Cloud was somewhere in the top ten on that same list. Also, the final DLC slot went to another Fire Emblem character because someone on the Smash team has a hard-on for Fire Emblem (God I hope the next Smash cuts down on the FE character count by five or six). Also also, they couldn't keep the team together for endless DLC development (remember: all the DLC was done from scratch after development of the full game) because that just doesn't make sense. We're lucky to have gotten the DLC we did because Nintendo didn't have to go that far and support the game for this long.

>>198704
Plus I bet they are already talking about Smash NX.

>>198709
Code named Fire Emblem X Nintendo

If Samus x Little Mac became a thing because of a reveal video, I can't wait to see how many Bayo x Pit adopters we'll have.

>>198709

I hope we don't get another Smash. I don't think I could take any more of Melee fans whining about their "superior fighting game."

>>198715
That very likely, given that Sakurai may not want too work himself to death again.

>>198721
If Sakurai leaves someone else will take his position. Smash is too profitable for them to ever stop making it.

>>198731
Absolutely true. The idea that they're already making it is dumb though, they don't pump out sequels to it, they let the game sell strong for years between.

>>198744
Not if its just pre-production, messing with the hardware stuff.

But if I was him, I'd make a diffrent game first.

>>198744
With Nintendo's production cycle, I wouldn't be surprised if they were already working on it though. It takes them like 5 years to make a game, and it's been a year or so since they've been in full production mode on Sm4sh. They may not be going into full production any time soon, but they're probably kicking around ideas for new mechanics/stages/fighters and doing tech tests on the hardware.

>>198769
What is all this about, then?

>>198773
Seems like a pretty cringeworthy cash grab, unless the mechanics behind catching are themselves fun.

>>198774
diffrent kinds of catchers. Standard Claw, A Hammer, a Wrecking Ball-Bomb (bomb jostles around some of the badges) Also the badges are physics objects in play when they drop so sometimes you'll get Badges that fall when the crane loads in. Also if you can figure out which to pull or push and can't get them then you can make others fall when you grab one. Pink Rabbit has been getting some hate from some sections.

>>198774
So was the sports game in my opinion, and even the extra games for Mii Plaza, but I like how they're willing to be upfront about ithe system to the point of even having them all be associated with cartonishly greasy shopkeeper mascots.

So Cloud is out in smash. What do you guys think about him?

I think he's fun, might end up being my main even though I'm not a huge fan of FF7. At first I thought his full meter down special was OP but it's actually pretty hard to hit with. Feels fucking great when it does though.

>>198819
Picked him, Ryu, and Hyrule64 up a few days ago.
Cloud is great and I want to like Ryu, but somethings just a punch off. I keep trying to play him like a street fighter character and the normal and tilt moves just don't connect well.

Also remembering why I quit playing. Unlocking special moves on (at least on 3DS) is a fucking nightmare and they still haven't changed it to at least stop dropping moves and costume parts you already have. Just introduce a shop already, we all have millions of worthless coins sitting around anyway. Fuck even make it paid DLC to unlock all the moves, anything is better than what you have right now and that's not even mentioning the fact you fucks won't give Lucas, Mewtwo or firemarth customs despite mewtwos code having quite a few almost finished and in place.

Speaking of Fire Emblem, after realizing it was the only Nintendo franchise I had never ever played, I decided to give it a go. Starting with Fire Emblem 7 on GBA. And holy fucking shit I hate this game already. This is beyond difficult. This game is hard to the point where I'm actually shocked that this has mass-market appeal. The first 10 missions weren't that bad, but I can't get past chapter 12, and I've tried like twenty fucking times.

I'm not big on strategy games to begin with, but having my units be permanently killed off infuriates me, especially as a completionist. It's not like these are random soldiers, they're fleshed out characters in an RPG. So if they die, I lose a chunk of story. That pisses me off, and allowing that to happen is unacceptable to me. So any time something goes wrong, in a mission that usually takes me at least 20 minutes to do, I have to restart the game and reload my save every time someone dies.

So then I tried using an emulator and using savestates. Nope, that's not working either. I can't level people up and have them survive at the same time. Then I tried, one last ditch effort, a code that gave everyone an instant levelup after any battle. Even then, I fucked up and someone died, TWICE. And it took twice as long thanks to the leveling animations. I can't even follow a Youtube walkthrough because of all the random variables in the AI. And I would put up with all of this if it had a story I cared about, but so far it's incredibly bland and cliche.

Someone please, PLEASE sell me on this series, because so far I just don't fucking get it.

>>198846
Git gud

>>198847
That's another thing that annoys me, the smug dickishness the FE community has over their superior skill at the game and thinking anyone who says it's too hard is a "filthy casual", giving them lectures about how the game "doesn't hold your hand" and that you should "git gud" or "deal with it."

>>198848
Seriously, the fact that your characters perma-die is part of the series' appeal. It's supposed to be challenging like that and an incentive to play well enough that your characters don't die in the first place.

>>198846
Fire Emblem is a difficult series. Not to sound like a dick but 'git gud' really is all there is to it.

Honestly you should probably not start with 7. I did, and I enjoyed it, but the newer games have difficulty settings which allow for both brutally hard and pretty casual play. Awakening even has an option where you can turn off the perma-death. Awakening might actually be the best place to start, it was the first FE that wasn't a completely niche title (FE has never had mass appeal) and I think that's in large part because it was the most accessible. If you have a boner for playing things in order then maybe pick up Shadow Dragon, since it's a remake of the very first game.

As for the story, well, out of the FEs I've played (which to be fair is only like 4 of them) all of them had pretty cliche by-the-numbers storylines. Plot has never really been a strong point in FE games. The best part of the writing is actually in the character dialogues when you get them to level up their relationship with each other, though I don't know if you've even gotten to learning about that mechanic yet. That's another perk about Awakening, actually. It's waaaaay easier for units to level their relationship enough to trigger dialogue, and while each character can only reach MAXIMUM RELATIONSHIP status with one other unit, they can have as many conversations with other characters as you want them to. I think in every previous game a character is limited to like, three conversations total the whole game, and if you want to see the rest you'd just have to look them up on the internet or play the game however many times it takes to see them.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of FE so I get where you're coming from. I've tried to get into the series a few times but always stopped playing about halfway through. Not out of difficulty, really, but just because by that point I get kind of bored with it. It definitely isn't for everyone, and it's fine to not like it. If you want to give it another go I'd say to pick up a more recent title, unless you're deadset on finishing the game you've started.

My beef with FE is that AW has been forgotten...

>>198850
>That's another perk about Awakening, actually. It's waaaaay easier for units to level their relationship enough to trigger dialogue, and while each character can only reach MAXIMUM RELATIONSHIP status with one other unit, they can have as many conversations with other characters as you want them to.
At the cost of those supports being way less interesting than previous games.

>>198850
>Plot has never really been a strong point in FE games.

I guess there's no point to playing then. I don't care for strategy games.

>>198855

I'm thinking a Pokeball-like item that calls in a random CO move would be nice, since it'd let them show off a wider range of COs without having to make each one a whole fighter. That and maybe an arena that cycles between backgrounds for each terrain type while crossfire from different sides barrages the stage.

On an unrelated note, I've been having a lot of fun with SmileBASIC. It's nice to have a well documented system with an often-helpful debugger and no need to worry about linking libraries prioperly just to run some graphics. Right now I'm making a simple top-down game but I'm thinking I'd like to try making an audio modem that could link with a matching program that would run on my desktop just because.

Huh, is badge arcade just programmed to make sure you get at least one play a day?
I haven't gotten the count to 10 bonus in a while, but so far I've gotten the random bonus every day.

>>199025
It doesn't ensure that you do, but there's a fairly good percentage of getting the bonus badge in the practice catcher.

>>199025
The count doesn't reset each day. So if you got two yesterday, and then nine today, you get a free play (by way of forced bonus badge, it seems) and start tomorrow with one. It took me a bit to figure this out.

As for a regular bonus badge, that does seem to happen relatively frequently.

http://nintendoeverything.com/controversial-dialogue-removed-from-fire-emblem-fates-in-the-west/

Good.

>>199032

Indeed. I'm sure some pissant is already crying about censorship, but I says that if it makes the game better, it ain't censorship.

>>199034
Well no, it is. For the better, granted, but it is.

>>199035
One can argue the intent makes the difference between censorship and just a general editorial decision (i.e. change for fear of controversy outside the gane vs change because it was a shitty idea).

It's really semantics either way, though.

>>199037
Basically, like how Kefka's swearing in the original Japanese version of FF6 was toned down because of different cultural standards on swearing in videogames at the time, but led to stuff that was more memorable like "Son of a submariner". One could argue that it's censorship, but it's silly to do so.

If it wasn't mandated by the government, it's not censorship.

Its just proper. Yea there are those bizzaro guys that will scream about this because "agggh they changed her in a bad way." Maybe could have added some dialog to note she has prefrences for both but then that is additional aggro like certain ladies in cartoons recived.

Gaming responses to sexuality are strange sometimes it gets support and other times not and gets slammed. Hence some decide to strip it from the game, but that leads to its own controversies like with new Tomb Raider went from author intent and first game setup to that character being removed and it all being "Daddy Issues" that make Lara who she is as the Single Female Badass Tomb Raider obsessed with her family legacy.

>>199039
What about games in the 80s where Nintendo removed crosses and stuff from third party games? Technically Nintendo isn't the government.

>>199041
Yeah, and it wasn't censorship, either. It was standards and practices, and it was image control. People try to frame that stuff as censorship because then they can treat it as a political issue and they can yell at the "politically correct" for taking away their ability to look at (INSERT TITILLATING THING HERE), but in reality it's just a business making a decision about what's going to make them the most money, and their ability to make those changes is part of *THEIR* right to free speech. Saying they shouldn't be allowed to decide what message they're sending based on the context of the market they're releasing in because somehow it "goes against free speech" is hypocritical.

>>199041
Which ones in the third party where removed. I know their first party and second had religious imagery.

>>199043
Mostly JRPGs and Castlevania. I remember Final Fantasy specifically had Holy changed to White and such. Pretty sure it was to avoid offending prissy Christian types, who are on the opposite side of the political spectrum from what >>199042 thinks I mean.

>>199044
Castlevania never had crosses removed, ever. In fact I don't think anything in those games was censored.

There's a bunch here.

Think again.

>>199077
The OP said "80's" so I thought we were talking about the NES trilogy. Those never removed crosses, even for CV3.

Japan and their hologram girls.

well looks like that will result in a bit less death of friend than the standard Mario game.

This is adorable.

After learning about the franchise and what Nintendo did with it, I would rather stick to fan translations (when actually getting to play it).

>>199241

?

Do you mean all the localization changes from Mother 2 to Earthbound? Because those were pretty much all a net positive. 90% of what it did was change jokes that depended on Japanese cultural references almost nobody in America had heard of to jokes that would actually make sense to western audiences. The Mother 3 fantranslation did a lot of the same kind of stuff, although not to the same extent.

And if you mean how they basically abandoned the series in the west after Earthbound didn't sell very well...well, better late than never.

The Mother 3 fantranslation is fantastic work - done by a fan who also happened to be a professional translator, and made possible through tremendous feats of software reverse-engineering - but I don't think I know any Mother series fans who wouldn't be excited about an official release.

>>199246
Jokes have to be translated, of course.

But removing red cross images, changing people's costumes, changing bars to cafes, and removing cigarettes? Censorship I do not support. Only joke changes.

>>199248

This was also in the 90s. Nintendo was a pretty different company.

>>199248
red cross images, mainly cos Red Cross is a trademark and they'd have to pay rights in the West for using the image.

>>199258

And all the other edits were made so the game could keep its quirky appeal and Nintendo wouldn't look like it was trying to tell kids drinking and smoking were cool things to do or whatever.

New Pokemon time.

Well that explains why>>199333
Was all over my dash this morning.

"A thing to note about this device is that much of it’s production was started in 2014 and many of the stuff I list here was outlined by the late Satoru Iwata before his passing. Hence in the company, the NX is considered the last project of their late president. Employees since his passing utter a phrase at the end of meetings and during idea brainstorms which is “岩田のために!” which roughly translates “For Iwata!”

The importance of this is that this “new” Nintendo is highly motivated in delivering a fantastic system and games, something that I quote from an employee “have not seen this much forward momentum on a project since they launched the original "

>>199349
Oh if it comes out not white not black but an old gray bastard. I'd be happy.

>>199350
Sorry, early descriptions have it as "Samsung and the 2ds had a baby."

>>199349
This seems like a good read. What's the article?

>>199384

>>199385
>Samsung and the 2ds had a baby."

As a Galaxy Note owner, I'm pretty enthusiastic about that prospect.

>>199386
Hearing about it it maybe it'll be kinda what the Vita wanted to be cept not as confused.

Not sure whether this belongs here or in the Persona/SMT general thread, but I'm genuinely surprised they're still going through with localizing #FE. It already tanked in Japan and the whole nature of the game means it's even less appealing to the West unless they're willing to pull a DOAX3 stunt to drum up sales from suckers.

>>199393
>Related videos, Federation Force.

Jesus Nintendo, you are really fucking up.

>>199394

KNOW WHAT MAKES FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS AWESOME!?! BEING SLOW! Good thing FPS games aren't played for being fast right?

This abomination is fucking terrible.

I can't seem to get as riled up about federation force as everyone else does.
Are we really just mad because it has Metroid in the name and isn't about Samus?
It looks fun like Tri-Force heroes, I love co-op games

>>199396
No, we're mad because it's an FPS thats slower than molasses, chibi style, that confuses backtracking for exploration and is a co-op shooter.

It's Alone In The Dark: Illumination for Metroid.

I think it looks fine. Not all of us need our FPS's to be Doom twitch-fests, particularly when it's Metroid and the whole thing is more based on environment and exploration. Tiki is just overreacting as usual.

>>199394
I kind of like Federation Force.

>>199395
It looks as fast as Metroid Prime was, from that video.

>>199398
>>199400
It is as fast as prime but that's a problem since prime wasn't a mission based co-op shooter and was geared for exploration while this game has no exploration and is based around enemy gauntlets which are most fun when fast paced. Also it has prime's hold r for free moment camera which is again not good in a co-op shooter.

I'm kind of amazed by the reaction to the new Paper Mario.

NOBODY is defending it. Usually in this scenario there's a few people defending a game that's being hated on but for this I've seen nothing but universal hate.

>>199424
"Fool me once" and so on. If anything, everyone is just leveling their expectations this time around.

>>199424
It's just what Paper Mario is for now and forever.

>>199434
Wait, is this a fan mock-up or is Toon Link actually in?

Personally I bet the next character is Makar.

We're never getting Vaati, are we?

>>199435
Yeah, Hyrule Warriors Legends' thing was an added Wind Waker campaign.
